[Woodcarver] Scroll Saw

[Joe Dillett]

I bought my 20-inch Dewalt off of Ebay. The price was not much lower. I am 
very happy with it.

The blade change is the same from bottom as the top, very easy. That is 
important if you are doing large pieces that are easier to load the blade 
from top and bottom rather than lifting the piece. I did a job in 3/4-inch 
thick oak plywood, 6-foot long by about 3-foot wide pieces. It was much 
easier to disconnect both ends of the blade than lift the piece to feed the 
blade through the hole. It was a big job, 4 panels with hundreds of openings 
for the santuary of a church.
